BUR DUBAI. Dubai Creek, which divides the city's Deira and Bur Dubai portions, is a saltwater thoroughfare that is a-bustle daily with dhows on their way to and from India and Eastern Africa. Those visiting the city for the first time should hire a water taxi, which will take them up the Creek and back, or take time to walk along the creekside promenade, which extends from the shores of the Gulf to the western fringe of lovely Creekside Park. The versatile park, located on the south bank of Dubai Creek, is a favorite with families and business-types in the downtown area, all of who head here for the relative tranquility the park offers. Featuring a mini-golf course, 3 fishing jetties, and a botanical garden that is home to more than 280 specious of exotic plants and flowers, Creekside Park provides fun activities for any number of hobbyists.
